Israel | 7D | One week in the Holy Land

​Shalom and welcome to Israel! Upon arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, you will be greeted by an OUTstanding Travel Representative, who will assist you with your baggage and escort you to your transfer to your hotel in Jerusalem. 
At night, feel free to go on an adventure! We suggest exploring the wonderful Jaffa Street and Mahane Yehuda Market, or strolling around the Old City. 
Overnight in Jerusalem.

Following an authentic and delicious Israeli breakfast at your hotel, get ready for a day of touring!
Travel back in time through the Jaffa Gate and start your day at the top of the Tower of David to enjoy the exquisite panoramic views of the Old and the New City. On this journey visit historical marvels and spiritual landmarks such as King David’s Tomb and the Room of the Last Supper, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Via Dolorosa, the recently restored Roman Cardo and, of course, the sacred Western Wall. You will find yourself wandering through the charming Armenian and Jewish quarters, the historic Christian quarter, and the bustling Arab Market.  
End the day with a bang with the spectacular Sound and Light show, exploring the rich history of Jerusalem projected on the Old City walls. 
Overnight in Jerusalem

After enjoying an early breakfast and checking out of your Hotel, plunge south to the lowest point on earth and ascend by cable car to the legendary mountain fortress of Masada. The ancient city was built in the year 30 BCE by King Herod, whose architectural feats have left their mark throughout Israel. At the beginning of the great revolt against Rome in the year 68 CE, Masada was conquered by a group of Jewish zealots, and it became their last stronghold. In the year 72, the Romans besieged Masada and succeeded in reaching the steep fortress after constructing a huge earthen ramp on its western side. In the year 73, the 960 Jewish zealots living at the top of Masada chose to commit suicide rather than to fall into the hands of the Romans. Their deeds left behind a saga of courage, heroism, and martyrdom. 
After a bit of shopping at the Ahava Dead Sea Factory Shop, drive to the shores of the Dead Sea and spend the afternoon enjoying the buoyant therapeutic waters of this mineral-rich sea, and absorbing the rejuvenating properties of its world-famous mud.
Finally, check in at your Tel Aviv destination for your first of many overnights in one of the hippest cities on Earth! Tel Aviv is a world hub and capital of gay vibrancy and pride, a paradise combining golden beaches with a world-class nightlife, incredible culture and cuisine, and fantastic listed Bauhaus architecture.
